Answer

Brief Explanations:

The central idea is about a jewelry - theft at Ferguson's on Saturday. The best note should be concise and cover the main elements of the event. The first option has too much detail like time and specific employee name which are not necessary for the central idea. The second option is too specific about the type of jewelry (necklaces only). The fourth option only mentions the employee's statement and not the event itself clearly. The third option simply states that there was a robbery at Ferguson's on Saturday and some jewelry was stolen, which captures the central idea.

Answer:

On Saturday at Ferguson's, there was a robbery and some jewelry was stolen.
